Complete Introduction about LiFePO4 Battery

LiFePO4 batteries is one of the type of lithium batteries, different lithium batteries has different applications. For safety and high charging efficiency, LifePO4 batteries is now become the battery consumer first choice. Whats’ the LifePo4 batteries? Why they are now penetrate into our lives? It has several advantages that impact our life. In this article, we will discuss the meaning, benefit and application of LifePO4 battery.

Meaning

The LifePO4 batteries were composed of Lithium iron phosphate, which are made up of individual cells, and differ from others harmful batteries. Founded in 1996, the university of Texas discovered the relevant material about Lifepo4 batteries, batteries mainly using lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material, and a graphitic carbon electrode as the anode. LifePO4 battery also called the LFP battery, which abbreviate from the complete name “lithium iron phosphate”. It has a high energy density while the positive and negative electrode contribute to leave space for storage the electric charge which come from the battery.

Advantage

①Safety

LiFePO4 batteries usually have several protections. With BMS, which have over-charge, over- discharge, high temperature,over current and short circuit protection, they can also prevent explosions,no need to worry decompose and risk of thermal runaway. Non leak, no toxic and recyclable. under these safety setting, especially in the risky situation, even though the collision, all not affect the usage of batteries.LiFePO4 Batteries have a thermal stability and effectively avoid the overheat. The most important feature safety make people choose LifePo4 batteries rather than other batteries.

②Longer Lifespan

LiFePo4 batteries have a long lifespan and low discharge rate. A standard qualified battery can use 1000- 10000 cycles with an average discharge 100%. a our batteries is allowed to 4000+ cycles at a depth of 100% and not decrease in performance. LiFePo4 battery only need to be replaced new one every 10 years while other batteries need be changed every 3 years, no need to maintenance and save cost.

③Lightweight

LiFePO4 batteries is light, with high energy density, and weigh 70% less than lead-acid batteries, easily to carry for outdoor travel, much lighter and smaller than other types of batteries, making them the optimal choice for applications that require a lightweight power source. They have a compact size, which allow the consumers to place batteries anywhere, save the mass space.This feature makes them ideal for RV and powering others electric devices like phone and laptop that require a lot of power in a small package.

④Eco-friendliness

We’d like to build a eco-friendly environment, so take action from small things that come from our daily life. In the power side, we bought batteries for some emergency, the production resources of LifePo4 batteries is fewer, that mean they need less energy to produce, do not contain harmful materials, which make them have smaller impact than other batteries on environment. They are recyclable, can be used as a new one, now become the green option for the consumers and businesses.

⑤Fast Charging

Fast charging time, with high energy density, the battery charging time of Lifepo4 batteries is quicker than for lead acid batteries, generally Lifepo4 batteries have charge five times faster than lead acid batteries and reaching full charge in short time, which help to charge electric applications in high efficiency. Lifepo4 batteries can be fully charged within half an hour with a powerful charger.

Application

①UPS power supply

With the continuously demand of UPS power supply, industries and companies have the growing power requirement, and they prefer the LifePo4 batteries rather than Lead-acid batteries as the power source of UPS for the stability, safety and high efficiency of Lifepo4 batteries.Compare to lead-acid batteries, Lifepo4 batteries have a long service life As the technology continuously mature, the cost of lifePo4 batteries was reduced.

②Solar System

There will be no energy in the solar system in the night time, so need to storage the energy during the day time for power house at night. So Lifepo4 batteries can be utilized with official charge controllers on the solar system to power device. LifePo4 batteries no need to much maintenance, they have about 10 years need to be changed while lead-acid batteries need to be replaced a new one in 1-3 years. An environment friendly way to power.

③Boat and RV

Due to the feature of lightweight and small size, LifePo4 batteries is the feasible power supply for boat and RV enthusiasts.This type of batteries is very easily to installed and carry, can save more space for vehicle. With high energy density, Lifepo4 batteries are compatible on size.

④For Communication Systems

LifePo4 batteries is gradually becoming a cost-effective investment due to its cost going down. The telecommunication base station may be influenced by the bad weather, stable battery can help to protect the network, and good performance at high temperatures can help the the telecommunication base station system running well. Lifepo4 batteries not cause pollution to the environment, a great green choice.
